Nice post here on Reddit from Mark Maunder the founder and CEO of Wordfence as he replies to the question of how people come up with their startup ideas:
“So my site was hacked. I used to be a hacker in the early to mid-90s and so it really pissed me off. I also worked in operations for big banks, Coca-Cola, and other big companies, so I knew about enterprise security, high performance, redundancy etc… So Kerry (my wife) and I dropped everything in 2011 and I spent 8 months writing the first version of Wordfence.”
